The 39th Hiroshima University Biomass Evening Seminar



Biomass Project Research Center, Hiroshima University, and HOSTY Association are co-organizing the Hiroshima University Biomass Evening Seminar. This seminar covers topics from the fundamentals of biomass to the latest information so that it can contribute the activities on biomass in this district. The 39th seminar will be held as follows. Please join.

Lecture: Kengo Sasaki

Associate Professor Organization of Advanced Science and Technology, Kobe University

“Genetic and metabolic analyses for high efficient bioprocess”



Innovative Bioproduction Kobe (iBioK), led by Kobe University, is aiming to develop the technologies to construct the sustainable and low-carbon society. In this seminar, we will make the presentation of the membrane separation technologies for high-efficient ioprocesses and genetic and metabolic analyses of the microorganism and microbial community to promote these processes.



Lecture: Naruhiro Furuse

M2 Student, Graduate School of Engineering, Hiroshima University

“Simultaneous Hydrothermal and Pulverization Pretreatment of Bamboo Using Disk Mill”



In previous study, new experimental apparatus using disk mill was developed and the effectiveness of this apparatus was confirmed. However, it is also known that the characteristics of biomass after pulverization pretreatment under hydrothermal condition differ from one feedstock to another. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct experiment using different feedstock to confirm the characteristics of the apparatus. In this study, we conducted experiment using bamboo as feedstock and investigated the effect of reaction temperature and disk clearance. With reaction temperature increase, the yield of decomposition product (D) increased and with disk clearance reducing, the yield of D and hydrolysable cellulose (C*) increased.







※We will hold the discussion meeting from 18:00 (800 JPY needed). Join this meeting, too if you are available.
